Skincare Products I've Tried
Keeping track of skin care products I've used or plan to use in order to figure out which ones work best for me.
Holy Hydration! Face Cream SPF 30 e.l.f. cosmetics
Bought & used last summer. Will repurchase to see if I like it for summer to rotate w invisible screen. (Plus can use on hands/arms.)
Positively Radiant Brightening Cleanser Aveeno
This was my go-to cleanser for years until I realized it was drying out my skin.
Hydrating Toner CeraVe
Used until I ran out. Did not repurchase since I didn't find I needed it in my routine.
Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm e.l.f. cosmetics
Used a couple of times but realized I do not like cleansing balms.
Moisturising Rich Cream BYOMA
Tried it, did repurchase 1x but prefer the Cerave. Also suspect it was possibly irritating my skin. (Noticed a little redness when I used. Not 100% it was the culprit.)
Ultra Facial Cream Kiehl's
Received a sample w purchase- tried it, didn't like. Had a waxy feel & didn't absorb in skin.
Witch Hazel Natural Astringent Dickinson's
Was using this as a daily toner but have discovered it's a bit too drying for my skin.
DayDream Serum Bubble
Love this, repurchased multiple times. A staple in my skincare routine.
Gentle Retinol Cream Good Molecules
Stopped using & replaced w Cerave retinol. Not a bad retinol but a) I didn't like the packaging b) discovered I prefer a serum vs a cream.
Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan The Ordinary
katirra rated
Really enjoyed using this gel moisturizer. Unfortunately, I discovered it irritated my skin. Had to return.
Suntouchable! Whoa Glow SPF 30 e.l.f. cosmetics
Used until I ran out. Like it but prefer the invisible screen sunscreen.
Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration First Aid Beauty
katirra rated
Bought a travel size to try out. Did a test patch- I immediately felt a burning, stinging sensation. Had to rinse it off. I think it's the Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil I reacted to.
Barrier+ Repair Treatment BYOMA
Enjoyed using this but will not repurchase. Prefer the Cerave moisturizers.
Triple Prep Weightless Multitasking Moisturizer SPF 40 Face Sunscreen Supergoop!
Received a sample w purchase. Tried it- didn't like it. Felt like it didn't really absorb into the skin & I looked greasy.
Hydrating Facial Cleanser CeraVe
Love this cleanser, possibly a HG.
Pure Skin Cleanser e.l.f. cosmetics
Used this & enjoyed it but switched it out for the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser. I like that one better & it doesn't have as much niacinamide.
Renewing SA Cleanser CeraVe
Tried it out as a face wash but was too drying. Switched to using as a body wash for my KP.
Fresh Start Gel Cleanser Bubble
Use this post-workout or on days I feel I need an "extra" cleanse. Doesn't irritate or dry out skin.
Suntouchable! Invisible Sunscreen SPF 35 e.l.f. cosmetics
Love this sunscreen, possibly a HG. Doesn't feel greasy or dry out my skin. Can use on my neck as well.
Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser La Roche-Posay
katirra rated
Bought a travel size to try out, didn't work for me. It stung and really dried out my skin. Tried again a few days later, same result. Had to throw it out because it was too irritating.
